On 15 January 2020 Equinor, on behalf of the Troll partners, awarded Aker Solutions a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract to mature topside modifications required to supply power from shore to the Troll B and Troll C platforms as part of the Troll West electrification project. The FEED work covers how to install electrical equipment on the platforms and replace gas-turbine-driven generators and compressors with electric equipment, enabling full electrification of Troll C and partial electrification of Troll B, with expected CO₂ reductions of about 450,000 tonnes per year.
